Core 2 Duo E6550 temperatures?
I have this processor clocked from 2,33 to 2,8Ghz, without change of the voltage(auto). In idle the temps are 38-45c, in Prime95 torture test max 72c. Is this very bad or normal?
Re: Core 2 Duo E6550 temperatures?
Seems a little on the high side. What type of cpu cooler are you using?

I would recommend better cooling if your overclocking. I have had some good temps with this one on my q6600.

Is there a problem for my system with this temperature? (i am not going to overclock more)
Re: Core 2 Duo E6550 temperatures?
That cooler is just as good as the stock cooler so I suggest that you get a better CPU cooler or back off on your overclock as 72°C is quite hot.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

72C thats hot. Whats your voltage sitting at? Even if you don't adjust the voltage some motherboards will increase it if you increase the FSB. I would check what your voltage is sitting at and go one lower. I'd re-apply the thermal paste too. Check out the Arctic Freezer Pro 7, cheap and cool.
When I overclocked my E6600 it never got that hot. I think the most I saw was 52C at load with a good cooler..

I would have to agree with werty and pwcmed. 72c is a bit to hot. If you are going to keep your cpu oc'd I would definitely get a better cooler.

Re: Core 2 Duo E6550 temperatures?
ok, now i know how to change voltage, but i do not know in what value, some ideas?
Re: Core 2 Duo E6550 temperatures?
You should be able to find a overclocking guide on this fourms. I would set everything back to auto and start their. Get a baseline on your temeratures when put everything back to auto.
